Tollefson Wins Low Profile 10K in Jamaica

Carrie Tollefson continues her low-key return to competitive running after numerous injuries and the birth of her first child. Earlier this month Carrie won a 10K road race held in conjunction with the Raggae Marathon in Negril, Jamaica. This race represents a step up in distance for Tollefson, known primarily as a 1500-3000-5000 runner. While at Villanova, she won 3 NCAA titles over 3000 meters and a fourth at 5000 meters (in addition to an individual XC title); she won the US Olympic Trials 1500 meters in 2004.
